This could be either an unrecognized Microsoft charge or a phishing email. The supported way to check is:
- Go to the Manage your payments page and select Investigate if the charge is not recognized.
- Check Services & subscriptions using the same Microsoft account used for the Microsoft 365 Family purchase.
- If a subscription shows Manage, Cancel, or Change payment, it is billed by Microsoft.
- If the subscription does not appear there, it may be tied to a different Microsoft account or managed by a third party.
- If the charge is not listed under the Microsoft account being used, check any other Microsoft accounts that may have been used.
- If the subscription was bought through a third party such as Apple App Store or Google Play, billing, cancellation, and refunds must be handled with that provider directly. Microsoft cannot cancel, refund, or modify third-party billed subscriptions.
- If the email itself looks suspicious and the subscription does not appear in the account, treat it as potentially fraudulent. One Microsoft Q&A example identifies a similar unexpected Teams subscription email as phishing and advises not to click links or respond.
- For direct help from Microsoft support, use Contact Microsoft Support.
Relevant facts for this case:
- Microsoft 365 Family or Personal is managed from the Microsoft account subscriptions page when bought from Microsoft.
- If a charge continues after cancellation, one documented cause is cancelling too close to the billing date; cancellations must be more than 2 days before the billing date.
- If the charge is truly unrecognized, the documented path is to investigate it from the Microsoft account billing tools rather than relying on email or phone numbers found in messages.
